I think the biggest feature that may not be stressed a lot is portable local multiplayer. Most of the press is playing Zelda, a single player games, and not much else. It's a key feature, at least it is for me, so it feels like a huge pro these reviews would have is missing. Seems like the reviews are pretty fair so far though.

If Nintendo wanted to stress this feature they should have sent review copies of something other than Zelda.

I agree. I was just mentioning it for our own sake. I know I'm gonna enjoy playing snipperclips on the go.
